I was also of the thought that evolution doesn't make you what you are today ... as in you live because you are simple and you survived everything else. Not because you are made that way. Otherwise, natural selection wuld appear to be biased somewhat ...
That said, if abilities are necessary for survival, and they are indeed impossible, we'll at some point be extinct. If they are possible, we'll definitely develop them and repopulate accordingly.
This brings me to another theory ... I don't think abilities are indeed possible. Because if they were, we wouldn't have developed into the homo-sapien figure that is physically required to grasp tools and use it's surroundings to fend for itself. Abilities like flying would mean legs are useless, telekinesis negates hands ... mind control means we don't need anything besides a mouth and stomach ... etc etc
